Which AI Model Should You Use? (Because So Many of You Asked)

This past week, while traveling to meet clients and presenting at a national sales meeting for a major tech company, I kept getting the same question from professionals in every industry:

"There are so many AI models now—how do I choose the right one?"

Having too many AI options can feel like pulling the lever on a slot machine hoping you hit the jackpot but usually just ending up with random results. Between meetings and flights, my team and I sorted through the noise and mapped AI models to real daily tasks the things you’re already doing, like writing, spotting trends in data, or fine-tuning job descriptions so you can skip the guesswork and get straight to the best tool for the job

The Key Takeaway?

Most models now have specialties.

Here’s a quick guide that might save you some time:

Writing blogs? → Claude 3.5 Sonnet → Why? It writes in a way that sounds natural and insightful, like a top-performing colleague.

Working with numbers? → Gemini 2.0 Flash → Why? It handles spreadsheets and financial data like it’s been running reports for years.

Business strategy? → OpenAI o1/o3 → Why? It helps you think several steps ahead, so you don’t have to.

Writing job descriptions? → ChatGPT-4o → Why? It cuts out jargon and highlights potential “culture fit” issues before they become a problem.

Quick Privacy Tip:

• For general content (blogs, SOPs): Claude 3 Haiku (affordable + minimal data retention)
• For sensitive data (financials, HR): Look for enterprise-grade privacy (e.g., Gemini Enterprise or ChatGPT Team).
• Always check your company’s AI policy first.
